Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 15, 1911.

Application filed April 26, 1909. Serial No. 492,428.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONHARD BAURo'rH,

useful Improved Metallic Package; and I do. hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the ac-' companying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to metallic barrels or packages, and particularly to the construction of bung receiving parts therefor; and it has for its object the provision of simple .and efficient means for securing the bung-hole bushing or casing within the receiving opening of the barrel casing, andfor reinforcing the same, whereby to enhance the practicability and commercial value of this class of articles.

Further objects of the invention aswell as the constructionand arrangement of the parts thereof are fully described in the following specification, and while in its broader aspect it is capable of embodiment in numerous forms, the preferred embodiments thereof are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 1s a slde elevation partly in section of the form of bung receiving partsand of one of the thrust the closure therefor preferably usedin an end of a barrel. Figs. 2 and 3 are plan and transverse sections ofthe closureshown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a central section of a form of bung receiving parts preferably employed 1n the side of a barrel together with a portion of the barrel casing. Fig. 5 is an enlarged face view of a portion of the reinforcing ring shown in Fig. 4. Fig. '6 is a partial crosssectionof a barrel embodying my invention, with a'portion of the stay rods or spokes of the internal reinforcing wheel lIl 'position,and Fig. 7 is a face view plates for. such stay-rods or spokes.

Referring to the drawings,'1 designates a portion of theside wall and 2 a portion of the end wall of'a sheet-metal barrel or package, and 3 and 4' the bung-receiving parts which are preferably, respectively associated with said walls, the latter being of the protruding type due to the protection afforded it by the chime of the barrel, should a chimebe provided.

The bung-receiving parts 3 comprise the tubular bushing member 5, which projects through the bung opening provided in the .side wall 1 and has its outer edge turned radially outward and then inwardtoward its axis to adapt it to interlock with-the reverse correspondingly shaped marginal edge of such wall, as shown at- 6, said interlocking portions being preferably countersunk relative to the side wall to cause the outer edge of the bushing member to stand flush with the outer face of such wall.

The inwardly projecting end of the bushing member 5 is encircled by a reinforcing:

a little short of the inner end of the bushing to adapt the latter to be expanded at the end of such ring, as shown at 8. The outer end outwardly, as at 10, to adapt it to fit closely to the marginal counter-sunk portion of the side wall. The opposite sides of the flange edgelO are preferably provided with ears 11, 11 having central depressions 12,'in each of which the outer end of one of the thrust- ,rods 'or spokes 13 of an internal reinforcing means for the barrel seats. The remaining rods 13 have their outer ends thrust against the barrel and are suitably formed forsuch purpose, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The

through registering apertures in a central ring or hub member'l5 and. have nuts 16 threaded thereto without such ring and adapted when turned in one direction, to have their thrusts against the ring and against the plates 14 and the ears 11. is thus apparent that the ring 7 serves to strengthen the bushing 5, to assist in maintaining a tightjoint between the interlocked also as'a thrust plate for the rods'13.

In the construction shown in Fig. 1, 17 designates the bushing member, which in- 'terlocks at its inner end with the inner marginal portion of the end wall 2, as at 18, with its inner edge preferably flush "with the inner face of the end wall 2 to permit a inner ends of the rods 13 project loosely complete draining of the contents of the ring 7, the inner end of which terminates portion-of this ring is radially flanged, as at 9, with the outer edge of such flange rolled plates 14;, which bear against the side of to cause the rods to have outward thrusts portions of the wall '1 and bushing 5, and

"shown as being threaded into the bushing 17. The closure 21 is preferably stamped to form a cup-shaped plug or body portion, the outer edge of which is radiallyflanged, as shown at 22, to form a stop-shoulder which is faced with a gasket 23 and in tended to seat on the rolled outer edge of the bushing 17, to form a tight joint therewith,

and is then folded back upon itself, as at 24.

To facilitate aZ-turning of the closure, a bar or grip-piece 25- is fitted into the-body of the closure transversely thereof and, anchored against turning therein by seating its lower edge in a depression 26 in the bottom of thec osure andprovidingiears 27 at opening in a wall the upper end edges of thebar w ch project w1thin registering radial pockets provided between thefolds 22 and 24 of the closure. A similar form of closure may be used in connection -I wish it understood that my invention is not limited to the specific construction and arrangement of parts shown, except .in so far as suchlimitations are specified the claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a metallic package having. a bung opening in a wall thereof, a bushing projected through such opening and havin anedge interlogked with the mar 'nal wafi of g the openin and its opposite ge projected beyond sai wall, and a reinforcing member encircling the projected portion of the bushmg; i

2. In a metallic (packa e having a hung ereo a bushing inter- 7 locked at one end with the marginal edge of the opening wall and having its other end projected through and beyond such wall, a

reinforcing member encircling .the bushing and having its opposite ends thrust against I with the bushing member 5 if. desired. 35,

a portion of the projected end of the bushinguand the inter ocke'd edge of the opening 3. In a metallic packa e opening in a wall thereof, of a bushingsecured in such opening and having a portion projected therefrom, a reinforclng ring encircling the projected portion of said bushing and-having one end bearing against the package wall at the having a bung laterally projecting portions, and internal reinforcing rods having their outer ends thrust against the laterally projected portions of said ring. f

4. In a metallic packa e having a bung opening in a wall thereo the combination of a bushing secured in such opening and having a portion projected therefrom with its 'end expanded, a -reinforcing ring encircling the projected portion of said bushing with its opposite ends thrust against the expanded portion of said bushing and against the marginal portion of the wall opening the end thereof which bears against said wall being flanged and provided with radial ears having inwardly disposed depressions therein, and internal reinforcing-rods having their outer ends seating in the depressions in said ears, substantially as described.

6. In a metallic package, the combination, with the body or shell of such package, of a series of radially disposed internal reinforcing rods and a series of thrust-plates bearing loosely against thefinner surface of such shell and having counter-sunk seats for receiving the end-thrusts of said rods.

- 6. In a metallic package, the combination with the bung .receiving part, of a bung therefor stamped from sheet metal and having its body or'plug portion cup shape and its outer edge radially flanged-to form a stop shoulder, said flan e having a part doubled back upon itsel and" a cross-bar disposed within the body portion of said plug and provided with cars at the upper edge of its ends for fittin se'curely'between said flange and the dou led back portipn thereof, substantially asdescribed. I

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name to this specification in the presence of'two subscribing witnesses.
